The UCP has the money to increase funding already (and lots of it) and is choosing to put it elsewhere, or as we are learning, divert much of it to private schools that will do their bidding implicitly or lose that funding while serving only the well to do's of the province.
Same thing is going to happen to healthcare with for profit providers.

I'm just saying there are lots of sources if they choose to. They just dumped $2.5 billion into the Heritage savings account. That they don't choose to is telling of their priorities. Public education is not one of them.
